On a whimsical afternoon, my husband and I decided we were in need of a little apartment therapy. I’d recommend these peel-and-stick vinyl flooring panels to anyone who’s tired of their apartment flooring. It’s made a huge difference in our mini kitchen!

Fall is my favorite season of the year. It’s the time for cozy sweaters and gathering around a bonfire with a cup of hot apple cider. It’s the time of year when the air outside is crisp and fresh in the morning and the leaves change into beautiful, warm and vibrant colors.

With the busy work weeks and the rainy weather, we’ve been finding ourselves wanting to unwind at home. We’ve been bundling up in blankets on our sofa, doing a little web browsing, reading, and watching Netflix. Here are a few finds that might brighten your rainy weekend.

We headed into Sequoia National Park for a casual day hike at Paradise Creek Trail. We were greeted by a winter wonderland with snow covered trees, mountains, and rolling hills. As the snow continued to fall in large flakes, the world around us turned white.

We drove out to the Sequoias for a weekend of snowshoeing among some of the biggest trees in the world. We created our own path through the forest, hiking over five to ten feet of fresh powder in peaceful solitude created by the sanctuary of snow, trees, and sky.
